2. Remove any pots and pans being stored in the oven. NOTE: The broiler pan and grid can be cleaned in the oven if most of the soil is removed first by hand-cleaning or a dishwasher. If most of the soil is not removed, excessive smoking will occur. 3. Wipe out any loose soil or grease. This will help reduce smoke during the cleaning cycle. 4. Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want them to remain shiny. If the oven racks are cleaned in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (Guides are counted from bottom to top.) NOTE: If oven racks are cleaned in the SelfCleaning cycle, they will become harder to slide. (See �Cleaning chart� on page 26.) Heat and odors are normal during the SelfCleaning cycle. If needed, remove them by opening a window or by turning on a vent hood or other kitchen vent during the cycle.
